India star batter Virat Kohli has smashed a half-century in the India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025 clash at Dubai International Stadium in Dubai.
OUT! BOWLED'EM! How's he pulled that off? Abrar Ahmed with a bamboozling delivery that has taken everyone by surprise. Abrar tosses this one up at around 88 clicks and drifts it on a nagging length onto middle and leg. Shubman Gill presses back and looks to play down the line off the back foot but the ball grips and rips away past the outside edge and knocks over the top of off. It needed a special delivery to get rid of Gill and he now departs for 46 (52). Can Pakistan now build on this?

FOUR! Wow, another cracker of a shot from VK and 14 runs come off that over! Good length, wide of off stump, Kohli reaches across and scrumptiously drives it through the cover region and picks up another boundary.
FOUR! What a classy shot from Virat Kohli to bring up 14,000 ODI runs, surreal from the King. Pitched up around off, not all that full but Kohli prods forward a bit and just plays that high-elbow cover drive, wide of extra cover and for a boundary. Kohli becomes the quickest in terms of innings taken to reach this landmark.
Shaheen Afridi to Shubman Gill- FOUR! Hit with real authority!
FOUR! Fine shot! On the fuller side, on off, Gill leans into the drive and times the drive. Hits it between cover and mid off for a boundary.
Naseem Shah to Shubman Gill- No run
FOUR! Streaky! Shaping back in with an upright seam, on off, on a good length, Gill is a bit early into the flick shot as he closes the bat face. Gets a leading edge that goes to the left of backward point and it beats the sprinting deep third fielder to his right for the third boundary of the over.
FOUR! Class written all over it! Pitched up by Afridi, on off and middle, Gill presents the full face of the bat and just eases himself into the drive. Plays it to the right of Kohli at the non-striker's end for four more.
FOUR! A Shubman Gill special! Banged in short by Afridi, not high enough though to trouble the batter, on off, Gill stands tall and jabs it aerially but well over mid-wicket for a boundary.
OUT! BOWLED'EM! Finally, Shaheen gets this one right and Rohit's nemesis comes back to haunt him! A proper inswinging toe-crushing yorker, tailing in late on middle. Rohit Sharma is a bit late to jam his bat down in time and the ball just shoots towards the stumps in a blink. Rohit Sharma departs on 20 (15) and India are 31/1. Excellent pace variation from Shaheen, as he bowled a pace-off delivery in the last ball, but cannoned this one right through.
FOUR! Not the best of shots from Rohit, but all he had to do was to clear that in-field!
FOUR! Intent! Full from Naseem, aiming the sticks, Rohit Sharma comes charging down the track and with mid off inside the ring, he simply lofts it over the fielder to collect a boundary.
FOUR! Shaheen looks to bowl a yorker, but slips in a full toss on off, Shubman Gill brings the bat through the line and pierces the cover and point gap for a cracking boundary.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are off to a good start against Pakistan. Rohit Sharma smashed two boundaries to Naseem Shah. Rohit and Gill need to build a good partnership here to register a dominating win against Mohammad Rizwan-led side.
INSIDE EDGE AND FOUR! Well, well, well! Luck favors the brave, they say! Length, just across off, Shubman Gill looks to drive to the off side, but inside edges and the ball bounces past the stumps for a boundary at deep fine.
SIX! Well, nothing streaky about this one at all. That is Rohit Sharma special! Hard length, on off, nipping a bit away. Rohit Sharma weighs on the back foot and just effortlessly pulls it behind deep backward square leg for huge 81-meter six.

TOP EDGE AND FOUR! The first boundary of the chase, a streaky one but still goes to the fence.
A good probing first over from Shaheen! Concedes just two! Too full on middle, tailing slightly in, Shubman Gill prods forward and flicks it to mid-wicket.
On the money, starts Shaheen! Looks for the yorker first up, swinging into the batter from off, Rohit Sharma jams it out safely.
OUT! CAUGHT! Up, up, but not long enough! The pressure was on after those dot balls and in the end, Khushdil Shah has been undone by some smart bowling from Harshit Rana. Rana bangs it into the deck, just short of a length and around off, Khushdil Shah tries to get under it and pull it over the fence but loses his balance and skies it up towards the square leg fence. Virat Kohli settles under it and takes a safe catch to bring Khushdil's fighting knock of 38 runs to an end and Pakistan are all out for 241 runs in 49.4 overs.
Kohli Breaks Azharuddin’s Record for Most Catches by an Indian Fielder in ODIs
OUT! RUN OUT! They just had to push or two there but it wasn't quite there for the taking.
SIX! Right off the screws and that one has sailed into the crowd! An attacking short ball, angled in at the batter but Haris Rauf just swings at it and gets a hold of it as the ball clears deep square leg for a biggie. 13 off the over already!
SIX! Khushdil Shah finally gets one away! Attempted slower one from around the stumps, bowed a bit too short though, Khushdil swivels and pulls it flat behind deep square leg for a biggie.
IND vs PAK LIVE: OUT! CAUGHT! Chipped to long off and Kuldeep Yadav gets his third wicket! Kuldeep comes around the wicket and floats it up on middle and leg, it is the googly though that turns away from the right-hander. Naseem Shah steps out but the ball stops on him and he can't follow-through on the swing and just checks his shot, chipping it over mid on. Virat Kohli charges in from the deep and dives forward to take a fine low catch. Pakistan now 8 down for 222!
OUT! LBW! Two in two for Kuldeep! Or is it? That seemed fairly adjacent but Shaheen Afridi has reviewed it right away. The big googly now from Kuldeep Yadav, on a dragged length and gets it to turn back in sharply from outside off. Afridi gets back and right across the off stump to cover the line but is beaten past the inside edge and gets struck on the front pad. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. That's hitting the middle of the middle and Afridi goes for a golden duck. Kuldeep on a hat-trick as well!
India vs Pakistan LIVE: OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, Ravindra Jadeja slips but manages to hang on and what a timely wicket for India here.
SIX! Seemed to have got it off the toe end of the bat but gets enough power on it, the first six of the game! Full and in the blockhole, angled across off, Khushdil Shah gets down on one knee, fetches the ball and slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.
OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! The bowling change works like a charm for India! Ravindra Jadeja strikes with his first ball on his return to the attack. Starts from around the wicket and spears it in, short and on off and middle, Tahir stays leg side of the ball and takes the risk of guiding it behind square on the off side from the stumps. Tries to open the bat face to access that area and ends up playing inside the line of the ball as the ball straightens a touch to whizz past the outside edge. The ball goes through to crash into the stumps.
Another batter bites the dust as Hardik Pandya got his second wicket. The batting all-rounder got Saud Shakeel's wicket who was looking set. India finally made their comeback.
PAK 159/4 (34.5)
AERIAL AND DROPPED! Kuldeep is the culprit now! Could have been two in the over for Axar had Kuldeep been a bit quicker on the ball. Dropped fuller from Axar, on the stumps. Saud Shakeel sits down to slog it behind deep mid-wicket, but doesn't get his bat under it properly and mistimes it wide of long on. Kuldeep Yadav is a bit late to move across to his left. He dives and the ball just lands short. A single taken. Rohit and Axar, both are not happy with that effort.
Harshit Rana just dropped a catch and Rizwan and Shakeel's partnership crossed the 100-run mark. Pakistan made a comeback in the game. But Yeah!!!!! Axar Patel is a game changer he again picked up Mohammad Rizwan's wicket. Finally, India got what they were looking for.
PAK 151/3 (33.2)
Saud Shakeel completed the fifty-run mark and Pakistan are now looking steady. Captain Mohammad Rizwan is also playing on 41 runs. Indian bowlers are desperate to get a breakthrough. Both batters played really mature innings after the side lost two early wickets.
PAK 137/2 (31)
26.6 Ravindra Jadeja to Mohammad Rizwan
FOUR! All of a sudden, the boundaries have started to flow for Pakistan! This is flat and short, on off, Rizwan crouches and nails the pull aerially but hits it towards the vacant deep mid-wicket region for a boundary.
Kuldeep Yadav to Saud Shakeel- FOUR! The conventional sweep comes out from Saud and the result is the same!
FOUR! Nicely done! Floated up, on off, Shakeel reaches out in front and gets nice and low. Reverse sweeps it past short third for a boundary. 100 UP FOR PAKISTAN!

Full again, quick on middle and leg, Rizwan drives it along the ground to long on for a single.
Full and flat, on off, Mohammad Rizwan pushes it to Kohli at cover.
Back of a length, just outside off and turning in, Saud Shakeel rocks back quickly and cuts it past backward point. The ball trickles toward the ropes but just plugs before and it is chased by Kuldeep from the inner ring. Three taken.

On a good length around off, tapped away from the crease and through covers for one. Pakistan now 79/2 after 20 overs!
Just a bit fuller and on the pads, angling in, Rizwan can't quite flick it away.
Banged in well short and outside off, not quick enough, Shakeel has enough to reach out and get on top of the bounce before playing a controlled pull through mid-wicket for a single.

Finally, a great over for India as Hardik Pandya picked up Babar Azam's wicket. The former Pakistan captain was looking set but Hardik got what India were looking. 10 runs and a wicket from the over.
PAK 47/1 (9)

Hardik drags the length back slightly and keeps it outside off, no real movement. Babar pushes at it thinking the cover drive was on, and gets an edge that KL Rahul pouches by getting low to his right. Hardik with a bit of 'bye bye' send-off gesture to his counterpart.
